Pasang: In the Shadow of Everest

Transcending cultural barriers and consistently going against the grain, female Nepali climber Pasang Lhamu Sherpa attempted to summit Everest four times in the early nineties. Although she was not allowed to attend school as a child, Pasang did not let that stop her from pursuing her dreams. After founding her own trekking company in Kathmandu, she blazed a trail for Nepali women via her efforts to summit Everest. Proving how big you can dream and how far you can go to achieve those dreams, she left a legacy not only for the family she has left behind, but for the myriad women following in her footsteps.

Paragraph 175
Writer
En los años 20, Berlín se había convertido en un paraíso homosexual, donde gays y lesbianas vivían relativamente al descubierto dentro de una subcultura de artistas e intelectuales. Con la llegada al poder de los Nazis, todo cambió. Entre 1933 y 1945 100.000 hombres fueron arrestados por ser homosexuales, bajo el cargo de sodomía, según el artículo 175 del Código Penal alemán de 1871. En 1997 los directores Robert Epstein y Jeffrey Friedman fueron a Amsterdam para la presentación de su película "El Celuloide Oculto". Allí conocieron al Doctor Klaus Müller, un historiador Alemán y Director del Proyecto Europeo del Museo Memorial del holocausto de los Estados Unidos, y se propusieron sacar esta historia oculta a la atención internacional. Narrada por Rupert Everett.
